Dr. Khimia-o in his address congratulated and appreciated all the nurses on the auspicious day for their yeomen services to the people. He said because of their hard work and patience they gained recognition and respect in their profession. He also reminded the essential qualities of a nurse like punctuality, truthfulness, hard work, neatness, good behaviour and caring.
He further reminded them that the patients expected the nurses to be polite, gentle, well mannered, good treatment as a father or mother or brother and sister. Citing the example of Florence nightingale, he urged the nurses to be a model.
Principal SON NHAK L. Watimongla in her introduction on the theme shared the sustainable development goals (SDGS) adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to replace the millennium development goals (MDGS).
